Abstract. QoS-aware distributed applications such as certain Multimedia and Ubiquitous Computing applications can benefit greatly from the provision of QoS guarantees from the unde...
Subsumption architectures are a well-known model for behaviour-based robotic control. The overall behaviour is achieved by defining a hierarchy of increasingly sophisticated behav...
Architectural design plays a key role in software engineering. The software architecture is the backbone of the designed solution, it has the functional requirements of the system ...
In traditional information systems, the user interface is controlled by one single application. In distributed systems, several distributed components may want to influence the ap...
The challenges of robotics have led the researchers to develop control architectures composed of distributed, independent and asynchronous behaviors. One way to approach decentral...
